Finishing things

Well, here's the cable monstrosity. Here it is lying on the floor, which gives you an idea of the overall look. I really like the Encore, it's really soft and nice (I've made another set of Irish Hiking Wristwarmers, with it - Steph has an interesting point that she thinks that using an all acrylic yarn for wristwarmers isn't as enjoyable to do, or nor does it result in as nice a garment - wool has better memory and feel. I think Encore hits the right compromise, I hope these will be hardwearing as acrylic and soft and have memory like wool).

Here's the sweater on me (in a mirror). Really horrible picture, but gives you an idea how it fits. It's supposed to be cold again Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to wearing it.

About this blog . . .

This blog was created as a space to share ideas and pictures of work. It includes knitting, quilting, spinning, some crochet, dying, more things probably, too. It's sort of an online scrapbook so I won't loose so many ideas. You can also find me on Ravelry .

Most patterns are for small/medium but if you send me measurements, I'll design to order. I welcome feedback on my pattern writing, and will do everything in my power to send the pattern to you within 24 hours(weekends may take a little longer).
